Hi, there
3 N1 l8 f2 a' b) C, @2 v! P3 B- [0 ]( T+ W; O8 X4 \
Good news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree. ) l6 [2 g. j8 I! I

Dear International Undergraduate Students,( M& A+ a4 G0 D# r5 C

! R% a# j3 y) DYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties 5 S( S- `5 [* }4 g1 x

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current 8 E; l" r$ R) G% B& O
undergraduate international students from the increase to the ! {" I2 L8 n8 e: [; y
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international * Q& U2 C5 A) T: L
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
, r: q& h+ a( }+ t) A8 ltuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%). # [" G( O" }5 e0 X1 e& r0 Q
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
4 P; u- q8 a8 F% |: i9 rthe differential for international graduate students.
* @; S# ?* v$ I' t$ T( t& C: P/ e- i7 Z5 O7 {1 D
Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
+ g7 J! W# m# K  O: v$ }" K2 gincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
, g- u% e' Y) ]0 c( t: P220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students

least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in ' N6 E( ^1 p+ d
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected 9 B+ r5 c6 V3 G& b6 _
increases once they are here.

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

$ Y( F- c0 m4 v- @. L! l9 `5 O' w6 cwould like to say thank you to all of the international students that 7 m  T5 S! r! ^
